HIV "Functionally Cured" in 14 Adults Treated Early – 3/15/2013

March 15, 2013 -- A new study shows that 14 HIV-infected adults appear to be "functionally cured", that is they still carry small, barely detectable reservoirs of the human immunodeficiency virus but their bodies are preventing them from rising to a point where they cause symptoms, despite stopping treatment. Researchers believe the key to achieving this remarkable result may be to start treatment as early as possible after infection.
